Tracey Davies

2.ROTM – Michael Lilley
Ran yet another Marathon this time in New York, amazing man and all for a worthwhile cause.
MOTM – Rowena Doherty

Chris Hardy

3.Quite a personal couple of nominations this month from me.
Member – Joanne Weir, been incredibly supportive of Sinéad in her return to running at a few parkruns and also at Wesham on Saturday. She’s also been fab running with my Katie and Jorja recently too. I know Joanne often sacrifices her race to support other runners and it’s about time she had a little recognition for her efforts.
Runner – only one for me. Sinéad. Needs no explanation, stupidly determined, incredibly passionate and still had a smile on her face after 6 miles in changeable conditions!
Matthew Simpson

4.Runner Racheal Gavin – very speedy at the moment
Member Matt Simpson for starting and pushing the Tue night group
John Clucas

5.ROTM A tough choice this month with speedy people and gritty performances. My nomination for runner this month is Rachael Gavin. She has smashed two PB’s after working really really hard on her running. 9 minutes off her ten miler and finally achieving that sub 42 10k time. A great month. Think this girl will keep on getting faster. Special mention to Matt who did incredibly well at his ten miler and proved that hard work and speed sessions pay off!
MOTM. Without a seconds hesitation it’s Joanne Weir. Not only is she the queen of pacing but she’s the queen of positivity. I would not have got through Wesham without her. I wanted just one mile that started with a 10 and she got me 5/6! She kept me going and has been paramount in my return to running after baby Arthur. She never allows me to doubt myself and reminds me that sometimes I’m too hard on myself. I know that it’s not only me Joanne does this for and she proved this on Saturday when we picked up Alyson Chester.
Sinéad Whittaker

6.Member of the Month
Shafiq Khan – For his awesome photos for the calendar

7.This month I’d like to nominate Sinéad Whittaker for runner of the month, she got out there on Saturday morning just 16 weeks after having Arthur and did the wesham 10k in a very respectable time, she’s a real inspuration.
